Voorheesville, Burnt Hills advance

Spartans in state semis for 10th straight season

The Burnt Hills girls' volleyball team moved into its 10th straight state final four following a three-game sweep of Section III's Fulton in its Class A regional final.

"Every year is a different year, that's the beauty of high school sports," Burnt Hills coach Gary Bynon said. "This group has come a long way, they're always outsized by their opponents but they have a whole bunch of heart."

The Spartans won by scores of 25-16, 25-10, 25-16 to move to 28-2 overall. Fulton closes 10-6.

Lizzy Morton led Burnt Hills with 12 kills and Siena Wilder added 12 digs for the Spartans. Natalie Ziskin chipped in with 33 assists. Burnt Hills heads to Glens Falls Civic Center on Saturday for the state semifinal pool-play round and will face Cornwall of SectionIX in its opening match at 10 a.m.
